Use of Reclaimed Water for Power Plant Cooling - Aug. 2007 [PDF-1MB]
A report has been completed on the use of treated municipal wastewater, also known as “reclaimed water”, as an alternative to freshwater to use for cooling and process water in electric generating facilities. The report includes a database of facilities using this water source, regulatory requirements that federal and state agencies have imposed to govern reuse of reclaimed water, additional treatment that may be required before a power plant can use reclaimed water, and a site visit to the Panda-Brandywine power plant located near Washington, DC that uses reclaimed water as cooling tower makeup. |
